HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 585, 679, 599 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 585, 679, 599 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 585, 679, 599 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 585, 679, 599 is 1.
HCF(585, 679, 599) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 585, 679, 599 is 1.
Step 1: Since 679 > 585, we apply the division lemma to 679 and 585, to get
679 = 585 x 1 + 94
Step 2: Since the reminder 585 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 94 and 585, to get
585 = 94 x 6 + 21
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 94 and the new remainder 21, and apply the division lemma to get
94 = 21 x 4 + 10
We consider the new divisor 21 and the new remainder 10,and apply the division lemma to get
21 = 10 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 10 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
10 = 1 x 10 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 585 and 679 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(10,1) = HCF(21,10) = HCF(94,21) = HCF(585,94) = HCF(679,585) .
We can take hcf of as 1st numbers and next number as another number to apply in Euclidean lemma
Step 1: Since 599 > 1, we apply the division lemma to 599 and 1, to get
599 = 1 x 599 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 1 and 599 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(599,1) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
Answer: Euclid's Division Algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of given positive integers.
2. what is the HCF of 585, 679, 599?
Answer: HCF of 585, 679, 599 is 1 the largest number that divides all the numbers leaving a remainder zero.
3. How to find HCF of 585, 679, 599 using Euclid's Algorithm?
Answer: For arbitrary numbers 585, 679, 599 apply Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession until you obtain a remainder zero. HCF is the remainder in the last but one step.
